On 9/16/09, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law approved a bill (H.R. 3290) which would provide permanent residency to spouses and children of undocumented immigrants who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The September 11 Family Humanitarian Relief and Patriotism Act stands as a compassionate response to the unique immigration challenges faced by survivors of the 9/11 attacks. This legislation provides a vital pathway to permanent residency for the non-citizen spouses and children of victims.
By prioritizing humanitarian relief, the Act honors the memory of those lost and recognizes the deep sacrifices of their families. It reflects a commitment to national unity, ensuring that those who suffered profound loss can remain securely in the country they call home.
